NEWS: New MiniRoos season kicks off this weekend

THE 2017 Aldi MiniRoos season will kick off this weekend across the two Hubs with North Geelong Warriors hosting the Northern Hub at its Elcho Park complex in Lara, while Drysdale SC will host the Southern Hub at its Howard Glover Reserve home in East Geelong.

The MiniRoos Hubs comprise of all the U7s, U9s and U11s age group competitions, split between the Joeys (beginners) and Kangas (advanced) sub-leagues. The U7s play in 4v4 (players) on 1/8 the size of a full pitch, the U9s play 7v7, while the U11s play 9v9.

With the MiniRoos, all teams play competitive games but there are no ladders or competition points. That is introduced at U12 junior level.

The highlight of this year's MiniRoos will be the fact that for the first time ever there will be standalone Girls' leagues at U11 level for both Hubs, testament to the growing numbers of young girls taking up the sport.

At the same time, there has been a healthy increase across the board with all other age categories.

The full fixture list (along with pitch allocations) for both Hubs is attached...
